Potassium-sulfur (K-S) batteries are recognised as a promising energy storage technology for large-scale applications, due to their high theoretical capacity, low toxicity and the low cost of both potassium and sulfur. However, their grid-scale development is plagued by safety hazards and fast capacity fade. This project aims to address these challenges by developing atomic-level engineering of host materials for sulfur, K metal anode and solid electrolyte. The outcomes of this project will provide increased understanding of the mechanism for K-S batteries and novel strategies for their development, placing Australia at the forefront of K-S batteries for scalable battery research and supporting our cutting-edge energy storage technology.

钾硫（K-S）电池由于其高理论容量、低毒性以及钾和硫的低成本而被认为是具有大规模应用前景的能量存储技术。然而，它们的电网规模发展受到安全隐患和快速容量衰减的困扰。该项目旨在通过开发硫，K金属阳极和固体电解质的主体材料的原子级工程来应对这些挑战。该项目的成果将加深对K-S电池机制及其开发新策略的了解，使澳大利亚处于K-S电池可扩展电池研究的前沿，并支持我们的尖端储能技术。
